Helen and Sophia were amazing guides! Knowledgeable, fun, explain so much to us not only about the food but also about Chinese history and culture. The food they chose for us was varied and delicious - a full array of Shanghai specialties. One stop was a tea shop where we learned about and tasted four different teas - wonderful! They took extraordinarily good care of us! I highly recommend this tour and hope you get to meet Helen and Sophia!

Highlights

  • Taste the traditional foods of Shanghai at local establishments
  • Walk along the Yunnan Road and visit 3 different restaurants and a dessert shop
